As the management of large vehicles and traffic safety continues to improve, truck camera surveillance systems are increasingly becoming an advanced technology sought after by vehicle owners. This system helps improve vehicle safety, management efficiency, and accident investigation accuracy through real-time monitoring and recording. However, while enjoying the convenience of this advanced technology, vehicle owners are also faced with an important decision: do they need to punch holes in their trucks to install cameras?
First of all, it should be clear that there are two main types of mounting methods for truck camera surveillance systems: perforated mounting and non-perforated mounting. Perforated installation means punching holes on the outside of the truck to fix the camera and other equipment on the surface of the vehicle; while non-perforated installation is achieved by using the existing structure of the vehicle or using professional laminating equipment to complete the installation of the camera without punching holes.
The main advantage of perforated mounting is its excellent fixation, which makes the camera more stable in the face of external vibration and bad weather. In contrast, holeless mounting focuses on maintaining the integrity of the truck’s appearance. Therefore, the choice of mounting method mainly depends on the individual owner’s actual needs and requirements for the vehicle’s appearance.

When deciding whether to carry out perforated installation, vehicle owners need to consider the following aspects:
- Vehicle Warranty Issues: Perforation may affect the terms of the vehicle’s warranty, so it is advisable to consult with the truck manufacturer or dealer before proceeding with the installation.
- Vehicle Type And Structure: Different types of truck structures may have different requirements for camera mounting methods. When choosing a perforated installation, you need to make sure that the perforations will not damage the vehicle’s structure or interfere with its normal operation.
- Surveillance Range Requirements: Some vehicle owners may have higher requirements for the surveillance range around the vehicle and need to install cameras in different locations to achieve all-round surveillance. The perforated mounting method is easier to meet this demand.
- Appearance Requirements: For some vehicle owners who pay attention to the appearance of the vehicle, the hole-less installation may be a more suitable choice to avoid leaving obvious holes on the vehicle body.
Wireless System Options
If you are concerned that drilling holes in your truck may lead to damage to the vehicle’s structure, you may also want to consider a wireless camera monitoring system. These systems do not require additional cables to be introduced through the body of the vehicle, thus avoiding the need for drilling holes
Overall, there is no absolute right or wrong way to install a truck camera surveillance system with or without hole mounting, but rather it depends on the actual needs and preferences of individual vehicle owners. Before choosing the right installation method, owners are advised to fully understand their vehicle structure and monitoring needs in order to make an informed decision.
